Lennie In John Steinbeck's Of Mice And Men

Relationships are based on give and take. Three things that Lennie contributes to his friendship with George and vice versa are easily shown through the text. Lennie contributes by being the main breadwinner, his strength, and how he understands George. Lennie is the main breadwinner because he is strong and a fast learner. Lennie’s strength helps and hinders the friendship. His strength can help with work but it can also hurt when he doesn’t realize how strong he truly is in fights. Lennie also understands George. George says multiple times that he wouldn’t be the same without his “brother”. George contributes with his brains, helping Lennie keep on track, and being a smooth talker. Lennie has got into a lot of trouble, but George is always there to save him. George is the one that is able to keep Lennie on track and get the jobs they need. His brains also help when he has to speak for Lennie, because if Lennie

Other than trust, accepting each other is a key role in their friendship. George accepts Lennie with his mental disability which is why they have a strong friendship. Lennie is extremely strong so when fighting Curley, George sticks up for Lennie, “‘Get him, Lennie. Don’t let him do it’” (Steinbeck 63). Since Lennie is extremely strong, George knows that he should let Lennie stick up for himself and not allow Curley to make him feel weak and inferior to the rest. George also accepts the fact that Lennie cannot remember tons of information that he has been told, “‘I’ll tell ya again. I ain’t got nothing better to do. Might jus’ as well spen’ all my time tellin’ you things and then you forget ‘em, and I tell you again’” (Steinbeck 4). This shows

There are more than 4.6 million people in the United States that suffer from intellectual disabilities. n the book Of Mice and Men written by John Steinbeck one of the main characters suffers from retardation.Lennie would have been better off in today's world than he was back in the 1930s.

In John Steinbeck’s work, Of Mice and Men, Lennie is compared to an animal multiple times which degrades from his sense of humanity and leads to a greater gap between George and himself causing Lennie to become almost nothing to the reader, and to the other characters in the story as well. While George has sharp figures and is precisely described, Lennie is shown as more animalistic, and not really given a lot of traits and characteristics. Also, the other people in the ranch/farm approach Lennie with fear and caution.

"'No- look! I was jus' foolin', Lennie. 'Cause I want you to stay with me.'"

A character with direct characterization is Lennie. Direct characterization is the author tells us directly and we as a reader don’t have to make inferences. The author tells us directly Lennie's features and the way he acts. Lennie is a direct character because John Steinbeck, the author, tells us directly in chapter one Lennie's physical features. On page 2 the author says “a huge man shapeless of face with large pale eyes, with wide, sloping shoulders."

I am arguing that he should of killed Lennie in the book “of Mice and Men”. I think it is a good thing he killed Lennie because I think if he was still alive then he would slowly start killing the animals and maybe even some of the people that lived on that ranch. "Lennie covered his face with huge paws and bleated with terror."(Steinbeck 63) Because he is scared someone will find out about him killing Curleys wife. I also think he should of killed Lennie because Curley hates him and he might do something to make Lennie suffer but George killed him quick. I also think he should of killed Lennie because Curley hates him and he might do something to make Lennie suffer but George killed him quick. This means that Curley would of done something

In the book Of Mice and Men, the main characters were George and Lennie. George is a small person. He looks like a fast, skinny person. Lennie is a Big fellow. He is muscular and he is really tall. In the book, Lennie is slow in the head and he likes to pet soft pretty things. Well one day he went up to a little girl and he started petting her dress but she didn’t know what he was doing. All of a sudden the girl started to scream. When the girl started to scream Lennie grabbed her dress and didn’t let go. Everyone thought he was trying to assault to little girl. Well on down the line they got a job working on a farm hauling feed. There was this girl who was married to the bosses son and she was kinda hoeing around. Well she was letting Lennie

Lennie is described with animal-like qualities many times throughout, Of Mice and Men. The first three times are found in the first chapter. At the time we first meet Lennie, he is being compared to a bear, "...and he walked heavily, dragging his feet a little, the way a bear drags his paws." I feel that this imagery is very important for the reader to see and be able to understand that Lennie, on his own is like an animal not truly knowing right from wrong, very simple and having a one track mind. In doing so, Mr. Steinbeck is controlling how we as the reader see and respond to Lennie and how much if any we will hold him accountable for his action.

Everyone has encountered someone who was very harsh, mean and cold hearted. Through that hard shell there is a warm hearted, loving, and caring human being. In the book Of Mice and Men Lennie is a character known as George's best friend , George is not always the best to Lennie he is the one who gets Georges cold hearted side. In the friendship of the two george is the more dominate, smart, and in charge one of the two. In that case lennie just sits back and lets George do all the talking and decision making. George has seniority over Lennie so he can take advantage of Lennie because thats all that Lennie really knows.

George is described as a man with a restless personality, and sharp, strong features. The image of his restlessness and sharp features are fitting because of his high stress levels and anger problems. He seems like he'd be ready to explode at any moment from stress. Whereas the initial description of Lennie showed him to be shapeless, large, and heavy like a bear. He had pale eyes and sloping shoulders, and his hands described as paws as they are so big like a bear. This is a fitting description because of his child-like behaviour and mentality.

How would one feel if they were stuck alone with someone? Would they grow to resent them or care for them? In Of Mice and Men, written by John Steinbeck, two men, George, a man with a dark face and restless eyes, and Lennie, an immense man with sloping shoulders, go to work on a ranch after having to leave home when Lennie touched a woman’s dress and she told the police it was rape. They make friends with other workers on the plantation. They are both strong workers, but Lennie, however, is considered “nuts” when he does some things that get him into a lot of trouble. George gets frustrated with Lennie and disregards him, but George really just wants a solitary life and is really nurturing toward Lennie.

The novel Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck takes place on a ranch a few miles outside of Soledad, in a valley called Salinas during the Great Depression in California. The novel is about two itinerant ranch hands, George and Lennie, who stick together and dream of one day owning their own farm. Unfortunately, this dream, along with Lennie, dies when George makes the difficult decision of killing his friend Lennie after he accidentally snaps a woman’s neck towards the end of the novel. George’s action of killing Lennie at the end of the novel was incorrect.

As a result of Lennies short attention span and absence of focus aside from the exception of lovely delicate soothing things, he gets into inconvenience either on the grounds that he doesn't listen to guidelines and does the opposite of what hes told, and/or in light of the fact that he doesn't listen to people, for example; Curley thinks he is being ignorant deliberately for instance “What the hell you laughin’ at?” Lennie looked blankly at him, “Huh?” Lennie was in his own particular minimal world thinking about rabbits as Curley got all up in his face as he thought Lennie was ridiculing him. Thus due to his moderate thinking capacity he can't recognize right from wrong, and as a result of this he doesn't know the outcomes of his actions,

In William Shakespeare’s Macbeth, various motifs are scattered throughout its tragic and calamitous plot. From portraying vengeance to displaying characteristics of loyalty and ambition, the tragedy’s cast and storyline model them all. The most prominent of them all is the motif of fate and its unchanging course. Even if one does not believe in kismet or may try to adjust its path for their benefit, it does not yield to no one or their desires. The brutality of this motif is not held back in this drama, and it is prevalent within the narrative.
